Default 96 Saturn SL clutch slipping

Can anyone tell me if there is a manual adjustment on the clutch? I cant find any external
ly. Nothing seems to be wrong with the hydraulic actuator side of it & the fluid level is fine. Free play seems short & the clutch slips, mostly on accelleration in 2nd & 3rd gear. Is there a manual adj. or is the clutch plate needing replacement. Any help is much appreiciated . Thanks

Does that mean there is no adjustment? Or nobody knows how to adjust the clutch?

There is no way to manually adjust it. It is hydraulic, and compensates for clutch wear automatically. If the clutch is slipping you need to replace it with the pressure plate and release bearing.

Default Got the same problem

I just posted how my 2000 Saturn clutch is slipping again I replaced the clutch throw out bearing and pressure plate . About a month later it started slipping again and I replaced the hydraulic clutch assembly. That was less than 2 years ago and it's slipping again I know the parts can't be worn out but with no adjustment on the cable I'm not sure how to fix it any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
